My apartment was robbed of 80LBS of silver. My father is now almost 70 years of age, I went to see him for 2 weeks in July. He gave me his silver collection (I didn't want it). he said I he passes I would have to pay tax. I took it and brought it home. I told 2 people this story. After 2 short months, It is now gone. All signs point to one person. They only took the collection and even left $600 cash in plain sight. They took the coins out of the rolls and out of the books, Cops think they spent over an hour in the room it was in taking it and putting everything back. As if nothing ever happened. The Cops tell me its someone I know and call a friend. I can overcome this and will But I will never trust anyone again. It also sucked telling my dad its all gone.

Ugh. That sucks huge. Not just because of the financial loss. But your Dad's time and love that went into collecting it. I would have the police investigate the party you suspect and see if maube it hasn't been fenced yet.

Its still ungoing with the law, This happened last saturday. You are right, I feel like a disappointment to my father. He spent years collecting it and I couldn't hold unto it for 2 months. This is the shitty part. I told him I will replace it, This is the only thing that I feel will help me get over this. I told him every month we will pick out a few hundred dollars in silver pieces together and will stop once we get to 80LBS. He thinks I'm nuts, But its just the way I feel.

Man that sucks. So sorry to hear that. I'm pretty sure an ex girlfriend and one of my ex friends broke into my house and snagged a few items. Nothing worth much except a 10 year old CD collection and some collectible knives. I have no proof but the whole situation points to them.
The betrayal hurts more than the total of the loss to me, and I know the stolen bond between you and your Father hurts you the most. So sorry. I hope the police find the clear path and can recover the silver. Good luck. |

I got ripped off by a brother in law while I was attending my brothers funeral. Believe me when I say their is no honor among thieves. We pressed charges and had video proof. Go to jail , go directly to jail. He went to trial and had to make restitution and serve 1 year probation. I hate thieves. He tries to be friendly. I have to tolerate him because of the family. He gets nothing more than a simple hello.

Yeah its the betrayal hurts and bothers me. And with my father it bothers me more than anything. So I decided if its not recovered we will build another collection together. Funded by me is what I promised him. So hopefully if he lives another 20 years we will spend years BS'ing about the collection we built and forget about the one lost. |

I agree it has to hurt being ripped off. On the other hand to spend the time to hunt and build a new collection is priceless time spent with your dad. |

It's too hot for street justice, If the Cops don't succeed. In time the guy will get his.

That just stinks, I have been on the receiving end of such a "friendship", it just p!sses you off that they would do that. If they are hard up for money, I'd do what I could to help....just ask, don't steal from me.

Cops arent going to do anything and leaving it to karma is BS. He needs a tuneup plain and simple, the kiddie bats work pretty well. What you do is up to you. |

What is 80lb of silver worth?
The cops won't help you, there's nothing in it for them. Just remember, revenge is best served cold. |

You could come straight out and ask. Do you know anything about who stole my fathers coins? The one that looks down and to the right is the culprit. If they can look you straight in the eye, they may not have done it.
